Is there a way to allow other people to read your journal?

My friend and I are having a problem. We installed the mod and everything works fine, except for one minor bug. When we restore skills to level 10, we always miss 0.01 exp and it stop just before reaching 10. My friend has tried setting them to -1 and 100. Still, it doesn't help. Only Carpentry so far got to 10th lvl fully, but rest we have like Metlaworking or Tailor are getting stuck.

Stops half way through crafting?

Can't seem to add the mod to my ongoing load or any new loads. Some help would be appreciated

Muito bom!! Salva

Hey how can I set the options on the mod menu to make a 1:1 copy of my current xp on all abilities on the journal? I'm hosting a server and my friends died and they got like half the xp, so please if someone knows please help me :D

Am I doing something wrong? I installed it and yes I can craft and do the journal but the problem is I don't seem to find to edit the settings in sandbox, a little help here?

Hey there, just checking if this has come up before. But we were having server issues and we had to reset stuff. Which reset the settings we had for the mod, as one person died they got back full XP and after realizing the mistake the host adjusted the XP recovery percentage back to 35% as we intended but they still got back full XP after reading the book. Is the recovery percentage applied to what is saved in the book already or is it meant to apply when you go to read it? Just trying to clarify and see if we messed something up.

i hate it

Thank you for this wonderful mod. I have an issue. I am using the "add Toughness" skill mod and it slows down the transcription of the journal tremendously. The vanilla skills are transferred at the normal rate up until transferring the modded skill which takes twice if not thrice the speed to transcribe to the journal. Also, will there be an option to speed up the transcription process? I know the skill recovery is already convenient given the time it saves but can it be made more easily by having instant or at least super fast skill transcription to the journal? Thank you.

42.12 updated?

Thank you, I'll check into it.

The game runs on version B42.12
Yes, I understand that the default recipe does not include a pencil.
What I meant to express is this: the last item entered in the sandbox settings does not appear correctly in the recipe within the game.
When I set the notebook as the only ingredient, the Skill Recovery Journal can be crafted in the game without any materials. When I set the notebook and pencil as ingredients, only the notebook is needed to craft the Skill Recovery Journal.

The pencil is not part of the recipe to make the book. That being said, the sandbox options format is build dependant -- as they changed the recipe format.

Which build are you on?

After testing, it seems that the last item in the recipe cannot be written correctly. I modified the sandbox settings like this:
item 1 [Base.Diary1;Base.Diary2] flags[Prop2] mode:destroy | item 1 [Base.pencil] flags[Prop1] mode:destroy
Entering the game, I can use the diary to create skill logs normally, but the pencil is not required in the recipe.

The sandbox custom recipe feature is not working properly. I modified the sandbox recipes according to the mod instructions, but when I entered the game, I found that the skill Journal could be made without any raw materials. I also specifically checked the Wiki, and it seems that the syntax is correct.
Here is the content under default settings:
item 1 [Base.Notebook;Base.Journal] flags[Prop2] mode:destroy| item 1 tags[Glue] flags[Prop1]| item 3 [Base.LeatherStrips;Base.LeatherStripsDirty] mode:destroy| item 1 [Base.Thread;Base.Yarn]
I copied and modified it like this:
item 1 [Base.Diary1;Base.Diary2] flags[Prop2] mode:destroy

Verify the sandbox options

i'm playing b41 MP and cannot manage to make it work. May be user error but i've got it enabled on steam workshop (just downloaded it), and in-game. Also in the server settings. I've checked FAQ and it says it may be a problem of jumping from 41-42 back to 41. How to solve? Thanks in advance.

You should add a setting so it remembers what you've read and watched so people can't use it to endlessly grind levels by watching the same VHS over and over again

Mod works fine for me.

Picked my own journal from my previous body:
"doesn't feel right to read someone elses journal"...
This is weird interaction tbh.

andrericardo20161.0 im having the same issue

Are you encountering any errors in the game - or just that behavior?

The mod is great, but I've been unable to record in the journal for a few days. I can only create it, but not record my experience.

Am i able to make it where you get VHS xp back but you cant rewatch it like how you dont need to re read magazines?

I'm indifferent if people are polite for the most part-- realistically it's been less than a week. Their comment is layered in compliments but boils down to sharing their opinion that the mod isn't maintained. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, if there was common errors related to the mod there would probably be more comments I imagine. So without any error logs or descriptions of what issues they're having I have to assume it's user error.

I've used this mod for years and I genuinely appreciate every second of work put into this mod. Thank you Chuck for all of your effort, it has made my time spent playing PZ much more enjoyable without the worry of losing ones progress in an extremely lore friendly way. To those reading that are impatient about the speed of mod authors updating their works; remember that there are long hours spent completely without necessity, taken directly out of their free time, to provide us with a FREE modification so we can better enjoy our game. Don't forget to show some love to creators, they're good people :)

Anyone encountering errors is directed to the github for this mod, which can be reached by clicking on the link under the image above that mentions errors - the one with Spiffo eating a cockroach.

@Sir Walach - Was it not compatible?

The update to the game was 6 days ago, be for real.

Love the mod... Absolutely critical to minimizing pain and suffering when dealing with Zomboid glitches... Unfortunate the mod creator isn't necessarily on top of things when it comes to updating.

one of the best mods of project zomboi

i've searched all over and cant find where its against TOS but just to let you know, doesnt work on b42.11or.12 MP. no clean ui mods nothing crazy, just no craft for it from what I can see. Great mod otherwise

Hi
Yesterday the mod stopped working in a weird way. Its enabled, but I dont see the basic recipe for Bind Journal Together. It only works if I start a game, disable mod, load the game, enable mod and load the game again. anyone had same issue?

@Wraither yes, the game has gotten an update, changes to ui and bodylocations have broken quite a few mods (some of them have already been fixed)

Is it compatible again with B41 MP?

is anyone getting errors since the update yesterday

Alright, thank you, Chuckleberry Finn.

Also, to address your question about a toughness skill -- the rate of XP reading/writing should factor the total XP needed to reach the max level. So I would need to spend time to see why this toughness skill is causing issues.

Probably that MP mod which is against TOS to distribute.

howd u launch a multiplayer server in b42 lol that shouldnt be possible

B42 Multiplayer doesn't exist.

sorry, my english bad.
b42 (42.11) multiplayer.
I read the log, gained experience, and logged out of the server. I logged back in, and my experience was reset.

I launched the server on my own PC via the command line.

Could we get better compatability for the toughness skill? Despite the low amount of exp needed it takes many hours to finish transcribing (nearly starving to death)

And because I've seen you ask on other questions in here, I'm not seeing any errors or warnings loged in the server console or on the client when the craft fails

On a build 42 multiplayer server and the recipe cannot be crafted to create the book. It fails with about 4 seconds left and the ingredients are refunded. Any ideas how to fix?

I would check the FAQ to see how the journal works in detail.

My friend is using this skill book but it doesn't seem to restore all his skill XP. However, my server mod states that skill restoration is set to 100. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi I cant see the tab opition in the host server mod settings?

Without more information I cannot offer any advice.
